Project Life - Week 9 and an Insert

Happy Wednesday!

Yes...it's Week 9...already...

I can't believe that I've made it almost 10 weeks with my Project Life! I'm totally giving myself a pat on the back right now, lol! It's been such a great journey and I am enjoying it so much that I know I'll make it all the way to Week 52 this year!

Here's what I came up with for my Week 9 spread, which I have to say is one of my faves so far :)

I was inspired by my daughter's choice of toenail polish for my color scheme this week...oh, and my cute little "Yum" flyer I got in the mail from Fab.com.

Yeah...I have a slight Scandal obsession...I honestly can't get enough of the show and I just had to document it in my spread this week ;)

Thank you, Jeani! I have to be honest...I try really hard at taking good photos so I really appreciate you kind words :) I've tried a lot of different setups but here's what's working for me now...I bought a white foam board from Wal-Mart to lay my PL spread on. I try to place it in front of a window (we have a sliding glass door so that's usually the spot for me) that isn't getting direct light, this helps with the glare. I don't know what camera or lens you're using, but I use a Canon Rebel T3i and a 50mm fixed lens. I stand on top of a chair and start clicking, usually in AV mode with a 1.4 f stop. It's been tough with all the dreary weather we've been having for the last 4 months, so I've made a few changes in where and what time of day I shoot my spreads. My advice is to try different areas in you home at different times of the day to see where the best place is for you. Taking them outside (in indirect light) is also a good idea, but sometimes hard to achieve when the weather is bad. I also edit my photos using my iPhoto program on my computer, which also helps me tremendously. I hope this helps a bit :) Good luck and if you have any more questions, don't hesitate to ask! xo
